Patient's question:
The baby had a fever a few days ago and went to the hospital for an injection. After coming back, they started having diarrhea. Initially, it was dark brown watery stool, and two days later, it turned yellow with a little bit of residue. Is it possible that a virus entered the gastrointestinal tract? How can the diarrhea be stopped?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, it is likely to be caused by enteritis. You can have your baby tested for a stool routine examination. Anti-inflammatory treatment can be administered, such as oral cefixime granules for suspension and Smecta. Make sure your baby drinks plenty of water and recovers gradually. Additionally, maintain hygiene in the anal area by rinsing with warm water to avoid the occurrence of eczema.
